Supersamplinghttp://blogs.msdn.com/b/shawnhar/archive/2011/04/26/supersampling.aspxSupersampling is the simple, brute force approach to antialiasing computer graphics. In order to avoid aliasing , the Nyquist theorem says we must take at least twice as many samples as the highest frequency detail in our input signal.

<p>64*64 = 4096</p>
<p>256*256 = 65536</p>
<p>65536/4096 = 16</p>
<p>If you render 16x as many pixels, that is 16x supersampling.</p>

But this confuses me:</p>
<p>&quot;rendered at 64x64 with no antialiasing, and then rendered at 256x256 (16x supersampling)&quot;</p>
<p>How does 64-&gt;256 result in 16x ? Shouldnt it be 4x ?</p>
<p>I would appreciate an explanation very much, thanks in advance!</p>

<p>I still have a couple of the physical posters at home, but I can&#39;t find the source images.</p>
<p>This was long before the days of 64 bit address space and virtually infinite hard drives, back when a DVD burner was a rare and expensive luxury, so these images were a massive pain to store and manipulate!</p>
